Randomized Controlled TrialDesflurane is not inferior to sevoflurane in the occurrence of adverse respiratory events during laryngeal mask airway anesthesia: a noninferiority randomized double-blinded controlled study.
Compared to sevoflurane, desflurane is less favorable to most anesthesiologists for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) anesthesia because desflurane has a pungent odor. This non-inferiority study aimed to determine whether desflurane is not worse than sevoflurane in triggering airway irritations during general anesthesia using LMA. ⋯ Desflurane is non-inferior to sevoflurane in the occurrence of laryngospasm at emergence after LMA anesthesia. The superiority of desflurane compared to sevoflurane with regards to respiratory complications requires further investigation.

Review Meta AnalysisValue of new ST-Segment / T-Wave changes for prediction of major adverse cardiac events after vascular surgery: a meta-analysis.
The aim of this review is to examine current evidence on value of new ST-segment or T-wave changes for prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) after vascular surgery. ⋯ Current evidence suggests that in the setting of vascular surgery, new ST-segment/T-wave changes could serve as predictor of MACE with reasonable accuracy. Heterogeneity across studies, possibility of publication bias and paucity of eligible studies are potential limitations to these conclusions.
